The back, home, settings indicator are the 3 dots above the transparent glass. Besides using the transparent glass as an aesthetic value, the transparent glass also work as both 360 LED notification all-around and as an outside-the-phone antenna. Now that is UNIQUE.

This is with 1 hour casual internet browsing, few emails, 2 hours of video, 20 SMS, 15 minutes of call, 1 hour of HD gaming . For today, using 3G and the battery just came to 48%. I use Juice Defender Ultimate to save on the battery while on standby. Plug it for charging while you sleep. Most people are expecting smart phones to have battery longevity of usual brick phones just used for calls and texting for 2 to 3 days. That's not possible for smart phones since you use them for so many other things, especially the processors and screen densities keep increasing. Unless they can switch to electronic ink screens and that can cut the battery consumption.

TheNeighbor, 14 Jan 2012You might consider the power longevity on this one before getting it.Good point but if it lasts a full day with average use should be fine. A battery test by GSM could be interesting as it has to support all those high specs. At the moment getting a day and a few hours from Sensation XE, day and a half from GN and 1 day from IP4S

The Xperia S is the most intresting device i have seen so far it has very good features a 12 mp cammera and it can play 1080p video and 32 gb internal memory which is good enough for most of the users of course it would have been nice with micro SD card but you cant get it all and i think its gona beat galaxy s2
